How to install deb file in Arch/manjaro?

Manjaro Linux is based on Arch Linux and does not use the Debian package format. Therefore, it is not possible to install .deb packages directly on Manjaro. However, there are some alternative methods you can use to install the software you need.

One possible method is to use debtap, a utility that can convert .deb packages into Arch Linux packages .

Use debtap only when there’s no other way!
Installation debtap:

yay -S debtap
sudo debtap -u

Convert .deb packages into Arch/manjaro Linux packages using Debtap :

debtap packagename.deb

Installation of the package in the system:

sudo pacman -U package-name

Alternatively, you can search for the software you need in the Manjaro repositories or the AUR (Arch User Repository). If the software is not available in either of those sources, you can also try downloading the source code and compiling it manually.
